Thinking about remodeling before you sell? đź‘€
According to the latest 2025 Remodeling Impact Report from the National Association of REALTORS®, the projects bringing homeowners the MOST joy were:
✨ Primary bedroom suite additions
✨ Kitchen upgrades
✨ New roofing
But the projects with the BEST cost recovery at resale were:
💰 Steel front door replacement — 100% cost recovery
💰 Closet renovation — 83%
💰 Fiberglass front door replacement — 80%
The takeaway? The upgrades that make you happiest aren’t always the same ones that maximize ROI. Strategic improvements matter — especially in today’s market. This isn't a straightforward guide to every home, local market, or even how to decide what materials, colors, etc to use.
